Resources
Jill Conner, Shriners – The new implementation of Shriners dedicated Fracture Care Hotline is going well. Reminder this resource is for non-emergency fractures and can be used by calling 801-888-4068.
Toni Estrada, Integrated Services- If you have families that need help or assistance during the holidays, start thinking about them early. Programs that have helped in the past will fill up quickly this year or may not be giving as much as they have in the past. 2-1-1 has several options for holiday help ideas.
Gabi Baraghoshi, UPIQ- will be starting a new project in 2021 called the Mental Health Access and Integration Collaborative. This project will look at improving referral systems between medical and mental health agencies. If you are interested in participating, contact Gabi at Gabriele.Baraghoshi@hsc.utah.edu
Walt Torres, Integrated Services- The Bicycle Collective has new and refurbished bikes and is currently open. They are a great resource for holiday help and can assist financially. Locations in Salt Lake, Ogden, Provo, and St. George.
Gwen Anderson- If families need help with paying rent and utilities, they can apply for assistance but should be done before the end of the year since funds are potentially running out. Most families are being approved but do have to go through the application process, which can be done through local DWS office. More information can be found at: https://rentrelief.utah.gov/
Tina, Utah Family Voices- For those with food needs Calvary Baptist Church has fresh produce and food boxes available every Tuesday and Thursday from 10 am- 2 pm. More information here. Tina also is working on a few additional resources lists and will share.
